Istvan Toth commented on CALCITE-6125:
--------------------------------------
How is the RM supposed to figure out the real name ?
Not every contributor name may be available, and tasking the RM with
investigating this seems to be too much.
Is this a requirement by ASF policies ?

> Automate generation of contributor names in release notes. Currently the
> process requires manual effort because people do not use their real name in
> the author field of their git commit.
> For example, consider generating the list for release 1.32.0. Here is a rough
> process:
> {noformat}
> $ git log calcite-1.31.0..calcite-1.32.0 | egrep 'Author:|Co-authored-by:' |
> sort -u

> If we add a [git mailmap file|https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap],
> {{.mailmap}}, we can translate some of the names 'lincolon.lil' to 'Lincoln
> Lee' and 'wumou.wm' to 'Mou Wu':
> {noformat}

> I propose to add a mailmap file, and change the release process so that the
> release manager must modify the mailmap to achieve the right names in the
> release notes (not edit the names manually).
